My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Get a load of this cutie! Lark is a 2 year-old Pit Bull who will be sure to steal your heart with her dazzling personality! Her heart-shaped spots are a perfect indication of the love she has to give and she’s looking for her forever person to give her the same energy in return.

Since coming into rescue, Lark has become quite the social butterfly! She adores every person she meets and is eager to be affectionate and play. She has adjusted very well in her foster home and has done great with picking up on the house rules. She’s crate trained and does well when home alone. She can be a bit barky when she is crated and knows you’re home but settles quickly. For this reason, she may be a good candidate for a home with shared walls given that it’s the right fit! She would love a home where she can see her people throughout the day and get some love in, but she’d likely do well with a daily routine where she spends time alone.

Lark adores meeting other dogs and meets them with lots of energy! This is a work in progress and she’s getting better at picking up social cues. She’d likely do well in a home with other dogs given they don’t mind her energy. Lark has limited experience with cats but currently lives with an older, dog-savvy cat and does well. She is very curious around cats and would play if given the opportunity. She’d likely do well in a home with cats if they aren’t overly fearful of a dog who’s still learning what personal space means!

As far as kids go, Lark has yet to meet any while in rescue. Given her affectionate nature, she’d likely do well. It’s recommended that Lark is given slow and controlled interactions with kids to avoid her accidentally knocking anyone down!

Lark prefers a medium level of activity and would love a routine that involves a daily walk with playtime in between. She currently has access to a fenced yard, but this isn’t a requirement. She’d do well without a fence given that she’s taken out on leash regularly.
Lark is enjoying her new lease on life and is eager to meet her forever family that will allow her to thrive as her loving self! She can’t wait to be someone's giddy little shadow and tag along in all the best adventures. If you’re interested in learning more about her, fill out an application using the link below!

Additional adoption info

Pet Haven is a foster-based rescue. Our animals live with foster families until they are placed in permanent homes and their foster families get to know the dogs and cats learning important information about the animals. For example, the foster family will know if the dog or cat is good with other animals or children, and will have a good idea of what kind of training, attention, and special needs the pet may require. This makes our foster families great resources for potential adopters!

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and the people who love them by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats; reducing pet overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter efforts, and providing resources to people that help strengthen the human-animal bond.

Our Vision
A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.

Our Values
Excellence in service and care; community; integrity; innovation; perseverance; compassion; a rewarding place to volunteer

How We Help
Spay/Neuter Initiative Program: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota
Owner Surrender: Providing a safe haven for pet owners
Foster: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs
Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing
What We Do
We help dogs and cats find homes with loving families through foster-based care. Every dog and cat lives with a foster family until they find their forever families. We provide all of their basic needs including proper food, veterinary care, behavior training, and supplies.

Through in-home fostering, we learn about each animal’s temperament, personality, likes/dislikes, and any medical needs. With this first-hand information, we can then find the right family for each dog and cat.

Our volunteers also educate the public on responsible companion animal care and represent respect for animals at all times. Whether we’re working with prospective new families, meeting people at public events, or socializing with friends and family, we encourage others to view and treat their pets as members of the family. We are their guardians, and they depend on us for companionship and care.


We spay/neuter prior to adoption.
We microchip all our Pet Haven Pets and remain as a secondary contact.
We make sure all pets are up to date on required vaccinations
We test for Heartworm and Lymes in all our dogs and are transparent in the results and treament
We test for FeLV/FIV and are transparent in the results. We believe that cats who test positive still deserve a chance at a quality home.
We do not euthanize animals unless they have untreatable health or behavioral conditions that deny them an acceptable quality of life or makes them a serious threat to people, other animals, or themselves.
How We Operate
We rely on adoption fees, tax-deductible donations, grants, and special events to keep our rescue operating. Our staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers have provided the passion and commitment to keep Pet Haven a safe haven for animals for almost 70 years.

We are committed to preventing pet homelessness through the SNIP Grant. Since 2005, we have granted more than $240,000 to organizations in Minnesota to support spay/neuter initiatives.
